Sounds yummy. What does the baking soda do for the icing?

Apple Cider Pound Cake Recipe

100% would make again
Fall in New England is so beautiful, and the apple cider here is the best!
This recipe is a family favorite and I like to serve it with hot cocoa.
12-16 Servings
Prep: 15 min. Bake: 70 min.
Ingredients
3 cups sugar
1-1/2 cups butter, softened
6 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
ICING:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs,
one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir together all dry
ingredients; set aside. Combine cider and vanilla. Add dry ingredients
alternately with cider mixture to batter. Mix until well blended. Spoon into
a greased 10-in. angel food cake pan or fluted tube pan.
Bake at 325° for 1 hour 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the
center comes out clean.
Meanwhile, combine icing ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce
heat and simmer for 10 minutes. While cake is warm, drizzle half of icing
over cake. Serve remaining icing over individual cake servings if desired.
Yield: 12-16 servings.
